Danica Patrick is the latest racing superstar to join the on-air team at XM Satellite Radio, the nation's number-one satellite radio company with more than seven million subscribers. The IndyCar Series driver is now officially a member of the Andretti Green Racing (AGR) team, the winningest team in Indy Racing League (IRL) history. Patrick will co-host the exclusive XM Radio show "The Andretti Green Racing Hour" with AGR teammates Marco Andretti, Dario Franchitti, Bryan Herta and Tony Kanaan, as well as AGR co-owner and IndyCar racing legend Michael Andretti.
Winner of the Rookie of The Year trophy at her first Indianapolis 500 in 2005, Patrick has become an international sensation, appearing everywhere from the covers of Sports Illustrated and TV Guide to the new music video for Jay-Z's "Show Me What You Got," which features Patrick racing alongside Earnhardt and Jay-Z in Monaco.
"The Andretti Green Racing Hour", a weekly, one-hour show, debuts in spring 2007 on the sports talk radio channel XM Sports Nation (XM 144), after the channel moves from XM channel 143 to XM channel 144. XM is also the exclusive home for radio shows hosted by NASCAR 2006 Nextel Cup champion Jimmie Johnson and NASCAR megastar Dale Earnhardt, Jr.
"I am thrilled to become part of both the Andretti Green Racing and XM Satellite Radio teams," said Patrick. "The Andretti Green Racing Hour" promises to be much more than a racing show, featuring the team's experiences both on the track and off. My experiences as the newest member of AGR are guaranteed to be interesting."
